Kawasaki Triples Club

The first time a triple took my attention was when good friend Gary turned up on a brand new S1C!
It was so awesome in every way. The bright blue paint, deep chrome 3 pipes & that unique chirpy sound they made.
Thats when i realised my GT250L Suzuki was on borrowed time

The first one I seen was my mate Colly's in the Isle of Man who bought a brand new S1C. It left my CB200, in green, on borrowed time but I traded it in for an RD350

was 13 years old and mostly interesting about cars racing.
On may 1969 I bought, as each month, a monthly new paper with half was cars and cars racing and the other half motorcycles and motorcycles racing calling CHAMPION.
On the front cover was Johnny Servoz-Gavin on his Matra 650 spyder during 24 H of Le Mans test on april and the first test of the Kawasaki 500 H1 white with the blue stripe.
The tester Christain Lacombe who did all his carrier on motorcycle newpapers wrote the bike was awesome and performed than any other bike.
Seems fabulous but was humbly waiting to have 14 years old the 2 january 1970 to pick up my mum's moped as she just got her car driving licence and bought for 500 francs (around £ 60) a 1949 black VW Beetle split windows
Don't know at this time that five years latter I will got one a 69 H1

Back in 1971 early 72 saw an S1 and fell in love with triples there and then.
